Welcome to the Almost 30 Podcast. I'm Lindsay and I'm Krista and we're your hosts, guides and friends on this path.

0:07.0

Almost 30 is not about your age, it's about the feeling. All of us are almost something seeking community and resources to support the rumblings of transformation within us.

0:17.0

Our conversations are deep dives, shepherded by our insatiable curiosity and desire for connection and during inspiration and a sense of levity that we can all benefit from.

0:28.0

We're looking to find the magic in the human experience. Buckle up baby, your evolution is waiting.

0:35.0

Hello and welcome to Almost 30 Podcast. I'm so glad you're here. Hello sweet friends, it's Lins, it's Krista and this is a special episode.

0:46.0

We were really inspired to create very topic focused collections for you all.

0:53.0

So if you're new to the show, this is not necessarily how we do every episode or structure every episode, but we get DMs upon DMs asking about various topics.

1:06.0

And so we collected all of those topics and wanted to curate a few clips from episodes from some of our favorite experts and teachers and leaders in various spaces.

1:19.0

So you can just get your fill.

1:22.0

Yeah, I love because it's like the best of the best from episodes that we've done over the years with some of our favorite guests.

1:29.0

And then it's really the most powerful and potent teachings. So if you're listening to this episode, you're going to get some really insightful actionable support or insight for yourself on sex.

1:43.0

This is the topic for this week. It's called demystifying sex. It's an almost 30 collection from some of our favorite teachers and friends.

1:52.0

And it's just really, really good. I was listening to the clips and I was like taking my own notes, even though I had been on the conversation. It's such a good reminder to, if you've already listened to these episodes, to come back to these points because sometimes things hit us differently, depending on where we are in our lives.

2:08.0

I think I really realized that over the past couple years that I've heard of topics or I've heard of cliches or certain things.

2:16.0

And until it really hits you from a cellular level, it just doesn't really resonate the same. So it might hit you differently this time around that you hear it than it did before.

2:25.0

And especially when it comes to sex, I feel like sometimes it just rolls right off people and they're like, I'm not what a la la la like they don't really hear it, but it is a topic like one of the top topics here in our community that people aren't interested in and want to talk about.

2:43.0

And I'm not surprised. You know, we are sexual beings and sex is so much more than just being physical in that way with another person.

2:54.0

You know, how do we harness our own sexual energy? What does that mean? Like, how can we leverage that? What does that look like?

3:01.0

It's really a powerful topic. And today we're going to be hearing from sex with Emily, Emily Morse. Yeah, it's such a fun combo with Emily. And in this particular clip, we're going to be talking about how society influences sex. So I'm sure

3:19.0

I'm not the only one who at one point was totally performative with sex and was not actually present in my body and feeling anything.

3:29.0

And was only thinking about how I could be what I saw in movies or just like kind of be that I don't even know, like not even dominatrix. I don't even know who I am.

3:41.0

Oh, my God. I'm like, girl riding bowl like I don't do. Yeah, what it's weird because I've never seen a porn in my life.
